CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM? I'VE BEEN STUCK ON IT FOR DAYS. Using the equation below as a model, fill in numbers in the place of a and b to create a rational equation that has an extraneous solution. x plus a over ax = b over x Show all work to solve for x in the equation and check the solution.

It's going to look like this: |dw:1405647755114:dw| They want you to have an extraneous solution, so that means when you plug it back into the equation, the two fractions won't be equal. The variables here are "a" and "b", that's where you'll put the numbers in

But i dont know which numbers to plug in @kohai
